Deploying on other platforms as well

Android studio is not the same thing as the SDK however I don't know where the SDK is located with the Android Studio installer. I usually get the command line tools from the bottom of the download page.

You mean I downloaded and installed Android Studio uselessly?

I usually get the command line tools from the bottom of the download page.

I think, anyway, we should have a SDK for put its path to the kit page, not?

[SGaist]

No, I just don't know where the SDK is located when you install Android Studio.

However, Android Studio itself is, indeed, not needed to build Qt applications.

@SGaist
If it's probably in the path where Android Studio is installed, OK, I will search for it. But what to search? A file, folder what?!!!

[SGaist]

Folder, a SDK is always at least a folder since it should provide all tools / libraries / whatnot to do development. You can search for a file named adb.exe.

Very nifty point. :-)

I found it here C:\Users\CS\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools so I add C:\Users\CS\AppData\Local\Android\sdk as the location path. Agree?

I did it. But how to select Android kit!? Apparently I should add it!

[SGaist]

Looks good yes.

Did you install the Qt for Android version ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
I have Qt 5.7 Creator + all the files and folders mentioned above installed/downloaded on my Windows 7 x64 machine.
I don't know what that is.

I think I should add an Android kit for the project. But how!?

[SGaist]

When using the online installer for example you have the option to install Qt for various Visual Studio, MinGW and Android. if you don't already have a kit then it's likely that you didn't install Qt for Android development.

@SGaist
No, I've installed MinGW, because I was coding for windows. should I also install another Qt Creator!!!?

[SGaist]

No, just Qt for Android. Qt Creator is capable of handling several version of Qt in parallel without any problem.

@SGaist
Good news. so how to add that on my Qt Creator please?

[SGaist]

Start the online installer, then add/remove and check the Android option.

@SGaist
Can't I use the maintenance tool?

[SGaist]

Yes, sure thing, it's that one that I had in mind, sorry.

[tomy]

No it's fine. Actually it is me that I should say "sorry" for getting your time.

I went for it, but unfortunately it doesn't include a Qt for android version. :(

[SGaist]

Did you use the offline installer at first ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
No. directly used the maintanence tool.
My offline installer is this qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.7.0 (size 1.10 GB).

[SGaist]

So your original installation comes from an online installer, correct ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
No, because of disconnecting the Internet here, I firstly dowloaded that offline installer and used it for installing 5.7
